France faces a political turnaround with no party winning an outright majority in the second round of the parliamentary election.
The right-wing National Rally party (RN), linked to Marine Le Pen, finished third with 143 seats, while the New Popular Front (NFP) and President Macron’s Ensemble coalition also failed to secure a majority.
With an estimated turnout of 67.1%, the highest since 1997, the election has left the country without a clear candidate for prime minister.
President Macron is set to analyze the results before making any further decisions, and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has announced his resignation following the exit poll results.
Dive into this video for an in-depth analysis of the election results and their implications for France's political future.
The French leader will meet with parties on the left and right in an attempt to form a new government after his minority government was toppled in a no confidence vote Wednesday evening. Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally will be notably absent.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have reportedly discussed deploying European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, according to the Telegraph. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky supports the idea, Starmer remains hesitant due to concerns over troop safety and possible escalation. Macron also proposed the idea to Poland, which declined involvement. The plan may align with reports of Donald Trump’s proposal for non-NATO European troops along the Russia-Ukraine demilitarized zone. No official confirmations have been made by the UK or France.

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on January 15, 2025, after a failed martial law attempt. This historic event marks the first time a sitting president in South Korea has faced arrest. The arrest follows a tense standoff with investigators who raided the presidential residence. Yoon's attempted power grab, including directing soldiers to storm Parliament, led to charges of insurrection. Despite a previous failed arrest attempt on January 3, Yoon voluntarily agreed to appear before investigators before being detained. His arrest escalates South Korea's political crisis and tensions with his supporters.
